Insulated from ground bulkhead adapter
First Claim
1. A coupling for insulated from ground mounting through an opening in a panel, comprising:
- an outer shell dimensioned and shaped to extend axially through said opening in said panel, said outer shell having an interruption in the outer surface thereof, said interruption being located intermediate the ends of said outer shell and being defined by an undercut dimensioned to span said panel opening with opposed axially spaced facing shoulders on opposite sides of the opening; and
means for mounting said outer shell to said panel in insulated from ground relationship, said mounting means being disposed in said undercut between said opposed shoulders and being dimensioned and shaped such that at least a portion thereof extends through said opening in said panel, said mounting means thereby cooperating with said interruption so as to be in integral relationship with said outer shell.

Abstract
A coupling suited for insulated from ground mounting through an opening in a panel. The coupling includes an outer shell dimensioned and shaped to extend through the opening in the panel. The outer shell has an interruption in the outer surface thereof. The interruption is located intermediate the ends of the outer shell. An insulated mounting member is provided which is associated with the outer shell. The insulated mounting member is disposed intermediate the ends of the outer shell and is dimensioned and shaped such that at least a portion thereof extends through the opening in the panel. The insulated mounting member cooperates with the interruption so as to be in integral relationship with the outer shell. The coupling is suitably manufactured by molding the insulated mounting member about the outer shell. With these features of construction, the coupling is adapted for insulated from ground mounting through an opening in a panel.

6. A coaxial coupling for insulated from ground mounting through an opening in a panel, comprising:
-
an outer conductive shell dimensioned and shaped to extend axially through said opening in said panel, said outer conductive shell having an interruption in the outer surface thereof, said interruption being located intermediate the ends of said outer conductive shell and being defined by an undercut dimensioned to span said panel opening with opposed axially spaced facing shoulders on opposite sides of the opening; a dielectric member disposed in said outer conductive shell, said dielectric member having a passageway extending therethrough; a contact disposed in said passageway in said dielectric member; an insulated mounting member associated with said outer conductive shell, at least a portion of said insulated mounting member being dimensioned and shaped to extend through said opening in said panel, said insulated mounting member being disposed in said undercut between said shoulders to thereby cooperate with said interruption in said outer conductive shell so as to be in integral relationship therewith; and means associated with said insulated mounting member for securing said coupling in insulated from ground relationship to said panel. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of manufacturing a coaxial coupling for insulated from ground mounting through an opening in a panel comprising the steps of:
-
providing an outer conductive shell dimensioned and shaped to extend axially through said opening in said panel, said outer conductive shell having an interruption about the outer surface thereof, said interruption being located intermediate the ends of said outer conductive shell and being defined by an undercut dimensioned to span said panel opening with opposed axially spaced facing shoulders on opposite sides of the opening; molding an insulated mounted member about said outer conductive shell in the area of said undercut and between said opposed shoulders and with a dimension and shape permitting at least a portion of said insulated mounting member to extend through said opening in said panel; and inserting a dielectric member having a passageway extending therethrough into said outer conductive shell and inserting a contact into said passageway in said dielectric member.

17. A method of manufacturing a coaxial coupling for insulated from ground mounting through an opening in a panel comprising the steps of:
-
providing an outer conductive shell dimensioned and shaped to extend axially through said opening in said panel, said outer conductive shell having an interruption about the outer surface thereof defined by an undercut with opposed axially spaced facing shoulders and at least one opening extending therethrough, said interruption and said opening being located and axially dimensioned to at least span the opening in said panel; supporting a contact within said outer conductive shell; and molding an insulated mounting member about said outer conductive shell in the area of said undercut between said opposed shoulders and in the area of said shell opening, and at the same time molding a dielectric member about said contact within said outer conductive shell; said insulated mounting member having a dimension and shape permitting at least a portion thereof to extend through said opening in said panel, said dielectric member having a dimension and shape so as to maintain said contact in a selected position within said outer conductive shell, said dielectric member and said insulated mounting member being molded as a single intergral dielectric structure extending through said opening in said outer conductive shell to axially locate and hold the dielectric member relative to the insulated mounting member and, in turn, locate and hold the mounting member on the shell relative to the panel opening.
